What causes dry hands?

What do winter, aging, overwashing, sanitizing and harsh skin care products all have in common? They strip your hands of essential oils and weaken the moisture barrier, leading to dry and irritated skin that in some cases leads to cracking, peeling and bleeding. Furthermore, products containing irritating chemicals, preservatives, dyes and fragrances can make dry hands hurt even more.

No matter which of the likely culprits is to blame for your dry hands, rest assured there are several hydrating solutions that can help restore moisture to your suffering hands.

How to treat dry skin on hands

For starters, you’ll want to moisturize your hands using a good moisturizing hand cream or lotion throughout the day (especially after washing and sanitizing) and more often during the winter months. You’ll want to look for a cream or lotion for hands that contains both hydrating and moisturizing skin care ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, and skin barrier-building ceramides and lipids.

If your hands are more irritated than dry, you’ll want to shop for calming and soothing hand creams, hand lotions and balms containing healing ingredients such as hydrocortisone, aloe, calendula, chamomile, colloidal oats or niacinamide.
